Bringing your hunting firearm into Namibia is straightforward. We will assist you with all the necessary documents and formalities to ensure that your arrival and hunting preparations go smoothly. Upon request, we will provide you with all the required information and forms in advance.

Vaccinations

For travellers entering Namibia directly from Europe, there are generally no mandatory vaccinations.
